A1 TEAM PAKISTAN LOOKING FORWARD TO INDONESIA

A1GP will
make its second visit to the tropical country of Indonesia this week,
although it will be a first for A1 Team Pakistan. Missing last
year's event due to an injured driver, the team will arrive at the
Sentul Circuit for the first time this week for the fifth round in the
2007 World Cup of Motorsport. Nur Ali will once again represent his
country behind the wheel.

Marking the last A1GP event of the year
before the Series breaks until mid January the Indonesian round of the
A1GP season is the third consecutive race in Asia. With this event
following rounds in China and neighbouring Malaysia, the Pakistani team
will be well acclimatised to the hot and humid conditions of Sentul.
The Sentul circuit is a wide and demanding circuit, allowing for many
overtaking manoeuvres.

The 70 minute Feature race is particularly
gruelling around the 3.9 km track and with the ever-present threat of
tropical rainstorms, it presents a tough challenge for A1 Team Pakistan.
Nur says, "I've never been to Indonesia before, so this will be
a first for me! I'm really looking forward to getting there and
seeing the country and the different cultures. I'm also looking
forward to checking out the circuit for the first time.

"The
Malaysian race was a great experience, racing on a wide modern track and
in wet conditions, which was a bit of a first. I think the Sepang race
was good preparation for this event. Being in the same climate zone,
with humid conditions, will allow me to adapt more quickly. And if it
does rain during the race on Sunday, at least we have the knowledge and
experience gained in Sepang to be able to find a good set-up and deal
with the situation."

Arif Husain, Chairman, A1 Team Pakistan
adds. "The Sentul Circuit hosted one of the most exciting races of
last season and unfortunately A1 Team Pakistan were unable to take part.
This year we will be aiming to make up for that with a strong
performance from the team."

The A1GP World Cup of Motorsport,
Sentul, Indonesia begins on 8 December with practice sessions, followed
by qualifying on Saturday 9 December and the two races on Sunday 10
December.
